Justification:
This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, tolerance of a range of habitats, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category.

It is found in primary and disturbed lowland, montane, and mossy forest, including scrubby areas close to forest (Balete and Heaney 2006, Danielsen et al. 1994, Heaney et al. 1991, Rabor 1955). There are no records from agricultural lands or completely deforested areas. Its elevation range is from sea level to 2,200 m on Luzon, and up to 2,400 m on Mindanao (Musser and Heaney 1992, Rickart et al. 1993).
